Now, she’s going pro and is working to become the first African American woman to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo (NFR). Lindsay spends time with Kanesha and her family at the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo’s Memphis show, where Kanesha’s 8 year-old daughter is also learning the ropes.

The Cowgirls of Color
“The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) hall of famer Fred Whitfield has won multiple world titles and become the first African American all-around champion, amassing millions in prize money, while Bill Pickett’s six-city tour has become a mainstay on the rodeo scene, a feeder for black riders into traditional events where almost all the contestants are still white.”

She wants to be identified as a Black Cowgirl, why y'all buggin. Stop hating on her identifying as black first and a cowgirl second. It's important for her to create this road for others that will follow her. Being the "first" has it's weight on someone and all those who are hating on people for calling her a "Cowgirl of Color" when the girl herself speaks about that exact topic like 1 minute in means y'all don't actually care about black people or what we have to say and feel. Stop being fake outraged.

Proud to see the cowgirl is continuing a legacy and passing it to her 6-year-old. "Much Love, Much Respect".

Great coverage as usual. You are so top notch. Makes me want to go to another Rodeo. Love the barrel racing. Been to more than 5 rodeos while here. It is good seeing a sport that is still going and all the positive things that they represent. No fossil fuels spewing toxins in the air, Cool Announcers that have character, Superb talent that lives and breathes a lifestyle of a more rural living than all the stuff that goes on in the paved jungles where a big space is 1/10th acre where a few blades of grass can try to grow. Excellent video and reporting.

My dad is obsessed with cowboy movies, especially the Black ones. He was from Oklahoma, so seeing Blacks on horses was natural for him. My parents, my 7 siblings, and I would go horseback riding as a family at least once a year. In California, it was quite a sight to see a whole family (10 of us) of beautiful Black people riding together. When I was a kid, somewhere around 10-12yr, I was taking horseback riding lessons, as well as playing football for the first time. One time, my mother was late picking me up from my lesson, and so we were late getting to practice. The head coach asked why I was late, and I told him my mom picked me up from my horse back riding lesson late. He told me, looking dead into my eyes, "n-eye-g-g-er don't ride horses." I was shocked. No one, especially not an adult, had ever called me a n-eye-g-g-er before. Not only that, my whole fam could ride, not just me. I told my parents, and they both dropped me off at practice. They spoke with my racist coach and they quickly educated the entire staff of the history of Black cowboys and the Buffalo Soldiers. I wanted to quit but my dad said that that's what white people want us to do, quit.

I ride horses but I ride English. I'm a Hunter/Jumper. Its like barrel racing, but with lots of jumps instead, the fastest times with the least poles down wins, its really fun. But its more dangerous than Barrel Racing. Some ppl ask me whats its like, I tell them its like I'm flying. But then they tell me they meant how do I get treated. Its ok, I do come across some people but idc cause my goal is to win.

The Buffalo Soldiers are a whole nother part of history all the children should know about just like Tuskegee. All the luck in the world to these Cowgirls and their beautiful family and dont forget dad and grandpa for busting his chops to make this great story happen. Peace and love Mickey P.
